[0029] The analytic gas compressor 3 in this embodiment is connected to the shift gas inlet pipe 15 through the analytic gas outlet pipe 14, and the shift gas inlet pipe 15 is connected to the converter 4. The hydrogen-rich torch 5 ensures safety under abnormal conditions of the device. The inlet end of the torch pilot light 6 is connected to a torch LPG pipe 25, and LPG enters the torch pilot light 6 through the torch LPG pipe 25 to keep the torch pilot light 6 burning continuously.
[0030] The analytic gas compressor 3 in this embodiment is connected to the shift gas inlet pipe 15 through the analytic gas outlet pipe 14, and the shift gas inlet pipe 15 is connected to the converter 4.
[0031] The analytical gas main pipe 9 is successively connected to the hydrogen-rich flare 5 through the analytical gas safety valve inlet pipe 12 and the hydrogen-rich flare pipe 13. A safety valve I 20 is also provided on the analytical gas safety valve inlet pipe 12.
[0032] The analytical gas main pipe 9 is connected with an analytical gas branch pipe 11, and the analytical gas branch pipe 11 is connected to the flare LPG pipe 25.
[0033] A compressor inlet valve 22 is provided on the analytical gas inlet pipe 10. A compressor outlet valve 23 is provided on the analytical gas outlet pipe 14 and is connected with a compressor safety valve inlet pipe 16. The compressor safety valve inlet pipe 16 is connected to the hydrogen-rich flare pipe 13 through a compressor safety valve outlet pipe 17, and a safety valve II 21 is provided on the compressor safety valve inlet pipe 16.
[0034] Among them, an emergency cut-off valve 18, an automatic regulating valve 19 and a pressure transmitter 24 are provided on the purified gas branch pipe 8. The pressure transmitter 24 is provided with low-pressure, high-pressure and ultra-high-pressure alarm functions and a remote transmission function, and is displayed and monitored on the DCS system. Among them, the model of the pressure transmitter 24 is EJA530E-JCS7-3CDL / NS21.
[0035] At the same time, the pressure transmitter 24, the emergency cut-off valve 18 and the automatic regulating valve 19 are set as an interlocking loop.
[0036] When the analytical gas recycling device in this embodiment is in use, the inlet end of the shift gas absorption tower 1 is connected to the shift gas outlet pipe 7, and the outlet end is connected to the purified gas outlet pipe 26. In the current synthetic ammonia production process, the shift gas produced by the shift furnace 4 enters the shift gas absorption tower 1 through the shift gas outlet pipe 7. The shift gas is purified in the shift gas absorption tower 1, and after removing impurity components such as H2S, COS and CO2 in the shift gas, it becomes purified gas and is led out from the top of the tower. The H2 content in the purified gas out of the shift gas absorption tower can be as high as 97%. This part of the gas can be used as the raw material gas for producing synthetic ammonia and is sent to the downstream section to produce liquid ammonia through the purified gas outlet pipe 26.
[0037] At the same time, this part of the purified gas can also be used as the raw material gas for producing industrial hydrogen. Through the purified gas branch pipe 8, it enters the pressure swing adsorption tower 2 to produce industrial hydrogen in a pipeline transportation manner.
[0038] The inlet end of the pressure swing adsorption tower 2 is connected to the purified gas branch pipe 8, and the outlet end is connected to the hydrogen delivery pipe 27 and the desorption gas main pipe 9. In the pressure swing adsorption tower 2, the purified gas from the conversion gas absorption tower 1 is purified by the PSA pressure swing adsorption process to produce qualified product hydrogen with a hydrogen content greater than 99.9%, which is transported to the outside through the hydrogen delivery pipe 27 for sale or use. The waste gas generated in the pressure swing adsorption process, i.e., the desorption gas, has a hydrogen content of up to 89% and a pressure of 0.03MPa, and is transported to the desorption gas compressor, hydrogen-rich torch or torch permanent lamp through the desorption gas main pipe 9.
[0039] The inlet end of the desorption gas compressor 3 is connected to the desorption gas inlet pipe 10, and the outlet end is connected to the desorption gas outlet pipe 14. The desorption gas is pressurized by the desorption gas compressor 3, and the pressure is increased from 0.03MPa to 6.2MPa, and then connected to the conversion gas inlet pipe 15 through the desorption gas outlet pipe 14, and is recycled as the raw gas of the conversion furnace.
[0040] The inlet end of the shift furnace 4 is connected to the shift gas inlet pipe 15, and the outlet end is connected to the shift gas outlet pipe 7. The shift gas produced by the gasifier in the synthetic ammonia process enters the shift furnace 4 through the shift gas inlet pipe 15, and a shift reaction occurs in the shift furnace 4 to produce a purified gas with a CO dry content of no more than 0.6% and trace impurity components such as H2S, COS and CO2, and enters the shift gas absorption tower 1 through the shift gas outlet pipe 7.
[0041] The inlet end of the torch pilot light 6 is connected to the torch LPG pipe 25. In the production of synthetic ammonia plant, the torch pilot light generally uses LPG as fuel, and LPG enters the torch pilot light through the torch LPG pipe 25 to keep the torch pilot light burning continuously.
[0042] After the analytical gas is pressurized by the analytical gas compressor, it is connected to the conversion gas inlet pipe 15 through the analytical gas outlet pipe 14, mixed with the conversion gas, and enters the conversion furnace 4 through the conversion gas inlet pipe to be recycled as the raw gas of the conversion furnace.
[0043] A safety valve I20 is provided on the desorption gas main pipe 9. If the desorption gas compressor 3 fails, or the compressor inlet valve 22 fails, or other abnormal conditions occur, the pressure between the pressure swing adsorption tower 2 and the desorption gas compressor 3 is blocked, and the safety valve I20 is tripped, and the desorption gas can be discharged to the hydrogen-rich flare 5 through the hydrogen-rich flare pipe 13 to ensure the safety of the pressure swing adsorption tower.
[0044] The desorbed gas main pipe 9 is provided with a desorbed gas branch pipe 11. Since the hydrogen content in the desorbed gas is high and it can be used as the fuel for the torch pilot burner instead of LPG, the desorbed gas can be connected to the torch LPG pipe 25 through the desorbed gas branch pipe 11 and used as the fuel for the torch pilot burner instead of LPG. Since the price of LPG is relatively high, the long-term operation cost of the device is high. Using this device can save the procurement cost of LPG and reduce the operation cost of the torch device.
[0045] A compressor inlet valve 22 and a compressor outlet valve 23 are provided at the inlet and outlet ends of the desorbed gas compressor 3; if a failure occurs in the desorbed gas compressor equipment or the compressor outlet valve 23 fails, the system is blocked by pressure, and the safety valve II 21 jumps. The desorbed gas can be connected to the hydrogen-rich torch pipe 13 through the compressor safety valve outlet pipe 17 and discharged to the hydrogen-rich torch.
[0046] An emergency cut-off valve 18, an automatic regulating valve 19, and a pressure transmitter 24 are provided on the purified gas branch pipe 8. The pressure transmitter 24 is provided with low-pressure, high-pressure, and very high-pressure alarm functions and a remote transmission function, and is displayed and monitored on the DCS system.
[0047] At the same time, an interlock circuit is set between the pressure transmitter 24, the emergency cut-off valve 18, and the automatic regulating valve 19. Under normal operating conditions, the emergency cut-off valve 18 is in the open state, and the automatic regulating valve automatically adjusts the valve opening according to the pressure value of the pressure transmitter 24 to control the system pressure to be in a stable state.
[0048] If a failure occurs in the system, when the value of the pressure transmitter 24 reaches the set value of the very high alarm, the emergency cut-off valve 18 is interlocked and closed, cutting off the pressure swing adsorption tower 2 and the subsequent processes to ensure the safety of the system. All the purified gas enters the subsequent processes of synthetic ammonia production through the purified gas outlet pipe 26.
[0049] The above-described embodiments are only one of the more preferred specific embodiments of the present invention. The common changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
